New Activity: NDAFW BINGO!

The NDAFW team is pleased to introduce a new BINGO game (en español) that anyone can use. Instead of displaying the words BINGO at the top, the 5 letters read NDAFW. The center of the card will remain an empty space, and the other blocks will be filled with terms related to NDAFW. The caller (teacher, RA, mentor) will call out a vocabulary word from the sheet provided (see attachment below) and then will read the description that follows the word. The point of this game is to educate players about certain topics and facts surrounding drug and alcohol use. The game will continue until one of the players has a winning BINGO pattern (up, down, across, diagonal.) After the game is over, callers of the game are encouraged to finish reading through the list of vocabulary words that were not called. You can print the cards provided, or you can make your own.
